greater-than or equal to sign in ZEN select component

Iain Fletcher · Jan 23, 2018

Hi

Is it possible to include the ≥ or ≤ in a ZEN select component? i.e.

<select id="condition" label="Condition" valueList="&lt;,&gt;,=,≤,≥" displayList="&lt;,&gt;,=,≤,≥"/>

I have tried ≥ and ≤ but these also do not work. If I inspect the options in the browser and edit with these characters they display correctly but just not when loaded in the zen page.

Cheers

Iain

I just tried adding your element to ZENDemo.Home.cls SAMPLE page, and it worked just fine. I added it after the element with id "description"

<html id="description" width="800" OnDrawContent="DrawDescription"/>
<select id="condition" label="Condition" valueList="&lt;,&gt;,=,≤,≥" displayList="&lt;,&gt;,=,≤,≥"/>

Perhaps include a picture of what you are seeing?

ZEN uses pure XML encoding:
differently from HTML there are just 5 specials allowed / required

< (<), & (&), > (>), " ("), and ' (').

I believe you should be able to use ">="

>= appears as >= which I had originally but is not what the customer is asking for.

Yes I have tried these and both display as ? as well. I have tried on Edge/IE 11/chrome/safari browsers and all look the same.

Have you tried using the numeric form? They are ≤ and ≥ for these characters.

Let us know if it works.
